My Great Strides Story
Martha Yepes
We’d love for you to join us at the Great Strides Walk by walking with Team FIVRA. We do this every year in honor of Mikey Santa Cruz. Mikey wasn’t just a big part of our lives—he was the kind of person who made you feel like every moment mattered. He lived with such intensity and love, always putting his family and friends first. He showed us how important it is to live fully and be present.
This walk is more than an event for us—it’s a way to help push for the care, research, and breakthroughs needed to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. It’s also a day filled with laughter, connection, and a reminder of what we can do when we come together for something bigger than ourselves.
While there has been amazing progress in CF research, not everyone with CF can benefit from today’s therapies. We still need a cure. It will take time, funding, and persistence—but with you by our side, we’re ready to go the distance.
Team FIVRA is committed to doing everything we can to honor Mikey’s spirit and give people with CF the chance to live longer, healthier lives.
We’d be so grateful if you’d join us. Let’s walk, laugh, and make a difference—together.
